NLCS Game 2 Highlights: The Mets are now two games away from the World Series as starter Noah Syndergaard and Daniel Murphy led New York to a 4-1 win over the Chicago Cubs.
Murphy, who only hit 14 homers all season, hit a first-inning homer that took the wind right out of Chicago’s sails, while Syndergaard essential shutdown the lineup over 5 3/4 frames. Kyle Schwarber , who was 0-for-4 on the night, struck out three times in three at-bats against Syndergaard and left three runners on base.
The series now heads to Wrigley Field in Chicago on Tuesday, where the Cubs are looking for a home-field boost. However, they are down and will face yet another great Mets pitcher, Jacob deGrom (14-8, 2.54 ERA). Chicago will start with Kyle Hendricks (8-7, 3.95).
The game starts at 8 p.m. ET and airs on TBS.
